Asset Management

Asset Management has come of age because of changes in the transportation environment, changes in public expectations, and extraordinary advances in technology Probably the most valuable asset of any hospitality business is its property. Over time, needs change, efficiency drops and habitual use takes over. Converting storerooms into bedrooms, basements into leisure centers, garden patios into food and beverage outlets, under utilized lounges into business centers are just some of the examples of optimizing the space utilization of older buildings.

Leading Point can identify these inefficiencies and make practical recommendations to enhance the revenue earning capacity and overall contribution the property makes to the business.

Making smarter risk decisions

Globalization and connectivity have ensured that risk is no longer confined to one company, country or continent. The sub-prime mortgage crisis is just one instance of how risk can spread. The regulatory burden is also growing as new laws are introduced and older laws—like the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act—are more rigorously enforced throughout the world.

But some of the risk management systems that have been put in place have actually made companies more vulnerable; they have been designed to address what went wrong yesterday, not what might go wrong tomorrow. Many companies have also adopted a piecemeal approach to risk management.

Leading Point can define almost all kinds of risk and amount of risk the client willing to tolerate, Link your risk passion to your business strategy and operations, so that you can choose the risks which offer the greatest commercial potential without adversely affecting the level of compliance you have set for your organization, and make the changes required to ensure that every business unit and function in your organization consistently makes decisions about risk that conform to your risk passion .
